A woman suffered major injuries this morning in a collision between a big rig and a sedan that stopped traffic for more than an hour on Highway 101 south near Scotia.

The big rig, driven by Rio Dell resident Daniel Moore, 51, was pulling out of South Scotia Road across the southbound lanes when Kenya Emary, 21, struck the rig broadside in her Toyota Camry at 9:15 a.m., a CHP press release said.

Emary, who is from Tempe, Ariz., sustained major injuries and was transported to Redwood Memorial Hospital. Moore was uninjured, the release said. The cause of the collision is under investigation.
